FEEDBACK OF THE VOLUNTEERS:
Sreenivasulu Racharla: It makes me immensely pleasure when I indulge in these kinds of activities. Being a volunteer for the CIM program made me think why don’t I choose this type of project .The program was really interesting, informative, helpful and a good learning for those woman’s and also in the team as well. I am feeling proud as being an employee of the MHFI and a lot of thanks to MHFI for giving us a chance to conducting this type of projects to giving back something/helping to the society.

Bhuvaneshwari Padmavathi Konda: I felt very happy to be part of this project, and also to Jeevitha as well. This has become a platform from where we can do well to the society. To be a part of the collective effort which is needed to uplift the society and its values for a better living, is absolute privilege to me.

Sujathullah Mohammed: It was the great project, I am very happy to get the chance to work as volunteer. This type of project should be consider on priority bases where we got the chance to motivate and do something for the women, especially in our country where the women’s are not treated equally to men. By this type of projects we can change our society…

Rahmath Unnisa: It was really a learning experience, talking with different people and knowing their thoughts, Got to interact with many people, made me understand where I am standing, how is my interacting ability, I understood that language is not a barrier for talking, it’s the flow of thoughts which makes u talk. And moreover seeing the audience enthusiasm and response, felt very happy.

Venkata Swamy Vallakati: It's a good experience for serving to the society. Coming to this project, it's good and different CIM project, which helps financially to the poor people. It’s nothing but proving an opportunity to generate income to Women, who are staying at home. It's good experience, motivating the un-educated women about how to live, and be a human being. Thank you Jeevitha for giving me an opportunity to serve.

Srinivasa Rao Ballada: First, let me congratulate team under the Jeevitha’s leadership for taking this project, I felt very happy to attend the project and thanks for providing such a wonderful opportunity to be part of this noble service. We know how much importance of human resources and their contributions to the family/society/nation. Taping the idle resource into productivity is an excellent attempt to add value to the country’s Economy. What I believe is that, the leader has succeeded in identifying potential resources in the category of house wives in slum areas where they have been taught in term of how to earn money and how to save money for future contingencies and avoid debt traps etc., they were enthralled.  It is also good experience to learn new things viz., interacting and understanding people with different background, culture etc.  I was totally enjoyed.
